Is a Broader Curriculum Better?

Dolton, P. J.; Vignoles, A.

Economics of Education Review, v21 n5 p415-29 Oct 2002

Evaluates the impact of different curricula options on UK students' subsequent earnings, focusing specifically on the issue of whether a broader curriculum at age 16-19 yields a higher return than a narrow curriculum. Finds that employers do not seem to reward individuals who take a broader curriculum. (Contains 31 references.) (Authors/PKP)
